The Doors are considered one of the most influential bands of all time. In particular, several music historians have called them influential in the development of both progressive rock and even gothic rock. More than most bands, The Doors continue to be iconic, often due to their close association with the rebellious counterculture movements of the late 1960s. And, as good as each member of the band was at what they did, the ghost of Morrison still overshadows the band. He was and even today is a larger than life figure who represents both youth disillusionment and the stereotypical rock frontman. The most important part of his legacy was his determination to do things and see things differently than anyone else. And The Doors were his vehicle to do that. It’s easy to fall for saying that there is no The Doors without Jim Morrison, but I think it’s more accurate to say there is no Jim Morrison without The Doors.
